Joss Whedon Slams Donald Trump, Who Is Now Leading GOP Presidential Field

Joss Whedon surprised everyone when he showed up to moderate the panel of the Comedy Central series, “Another Period,” and then got some laughs when he took a shot at GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“Everything I have seen about this show is my favorite thing,” Whedon said. “It makes us laugh, but it makes us think and it reminds us of the universal truth: that rich white people are f–king insane. It’s obviously a fantasy and something we can all laugh at, because those days are all over – -and then Donald Trump says something. I suspect he may be a Bellacourt.”

Whedon compared Trump to Bellacourt, the name of the wealthy family that live in luxury in “Another Period.”

Trump has made headlines with his immigration remarks generalizing Mexican immigrants as “rapists.” Although the backlash from the Latino community was swift and costly, his unapologetic stance on immigration appears to have shot him to the top of the GOP field.

However, the poll also revealed that registered Republican voters gave him a slim chance of winning the race for the Republican nomination. 29 percent of respondents said they believed Jeb Bush would claim it at the end, with only 7 percent saying this about Trump.
